Fabulous boutique hotel with stunning views.
Pros:

Fantastic location, the views were stunning. Whilst tucked away up in the hills, you felt very safe, with plenty of security surrounding the hotel complex. The hotel itself was impeccable, from the rooms to the communal areas. A top boutique hotel feel. The staff were great, friendly and welcoming. We would absolutely recommend staying here when visiting Rio.

Cons:

The only minor criticism of the facilities was that the pool area could do with a bit of a refurbishment. The pool itself looked slightly tired and the sunbeds around the pool were ripped and need replacing. Whilst the staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, they were sometimes tricky to find! They could probably do with having one front desk staff member a bit more visible. None of this would prevent me highly recommending the hotel. We loved our stay.

Dream home in Santa Teresa
Pros:

The Vila is absolutely gorgeous. A peaceful haven in the middle of Santa Teresa with a breathtaking view over the city. The staff is very attentive and welcoming, and made me feel at home. I loved all the little treats left in the room, the availability and warmth of them all. It truly is a place to unwind and relax. Loved it!!

Cons:

The location is great if you’re looking for quiet and stunning views but it is kind of remote. So for people looking to go out the door and have shops and restaurants at hand, this might not be the best option. Still is amazing though!

Ultra luxurious retreat in the most idyllic setting you you could wish for.
Pros:

The attention to detail was incredible. The staff go above and beyond to meet every request. You have your own executive butler who attends to your every need. The meals were incredible and the views are the best in Rio.

O privilégio de acordar diante dos principais cartões postais do mundo
Pros:

O hotel é uma antiga residência familiar e possui 7 acomodações impecavelmente dispostas de modo a obter uma vista incrível da Baía de Guanabara, além dos morros do Pão de Açúçar, Urca e, na parte de trás, o Corcovado, com o Cristo Redentor de braços abertos sobre a cidade. Cartão Postal. O staff é incrível!!!!! Você é atendidos por mordomos que fazem tudo para seu bem estar. O café da manhã é divino e pode ser servido no deck da piscina, que dá uma vista deslumbrante para o Rio. Participamos do jantar do dia dos namorados e estava tudo perfeito, desde os mimos deixados no quarto, ao serviço no restaurante. Experiência inesquecível!!!!

Cons:

Pequenos detalhes que precisam ser aperfeiçoados. Durante o final da noite e início da manhã, o chuveiro quente não funcionou e estava impossível tomar banho no nosso quarto.
A acomodação é rota dos aviões que pousam no Santos Dumont. Longe de isso ser um incômodo, mas é importante saber que pode gerar algum barulho no início da manhã, com a abertura do aeroporto.
A propriedade é um oásis de proteção no bairro de Santa Teresa, mas é preciso ter cuidado quando o objetivo é explorar a área externa além dos portões de entrada.
